Interruptions

I know I promised you guys a series elucidating the experiences of all the interns over the next few days but this is an interruption. An interruption to specifically talk about the interruptions that were a part of a very eventful day.
Shashank and I headed out from office yesterday with a very clear agenda - we had sites to visit, things to get done and material to buy. But in all of this no one accounted for the bike and it's moods. On our way to the first site, we figured that there's an issue with the first gear. From one site to the other, we just about managed. On our way to the steel vendor, the bike decided to act up again. The gear pin came off. We were trying to figure how to manage this - from mechanics to petrol pumps. Post that everything seemed to be going well. We got the material, got it delivered at site and then headed out to the next one. We thought that was it for the day but it really wasn't. Halfway between the two sites we realised that the bike had run out of fuel. With no fuel and no battery in our phones we figured out how to get to the nearest petrol pump. Luckily by this time Sai and Sulu, who were also heading to site, came to our rescue. As we were talking about our extremely eventful day, Sai casually commented that this was something he had expected to happen, even if we hadn't. All of these interruptions to our well planned day was more of a learning experience for next time - preparation is key to a successful day!
